Recently read some online essays and notes for a class and wondered what other people think of this procedure


For the uncut orgers, would you consider it?

Peel the collagen.....

I'm a girl, but I think if I was a man that there wouldn't be any reason to do this as an adult. From what I understand it's quite a bit more painful and not as simple of a procedure as an adult. Not to mention that I just don't feel it's necessary in any way in the first place.

It can become necessary. I work in a children's hospital. Some parents intend their sons to remain "intact" but complications such as phimosis can occur, then circumcision becomes a solution.

evenstar said:

you don't think it's a good idea?

Many women prefer uncircumsized men

bboy87 said:

why would anyone want to do it as an adult?!

HELL NO.

Circumcisizing babies is completely useless bs too.

Except for the fact that the foreskin....I mean polish sausage collagen, can attract dirt.

FarrahMoan said:

So can an exposed knob. You have to wash.

FarrahMoan said:

Hah. You know you can wash your dick, right?
Never had 'dirt' on my dick anyways.
We are born with a piece of skin, that protects our dick, what's the use in taking it off? There is absolutely NO reason to get your penis circumsized.

FuNkeNsteiN said:

My "DICK" this and my "DICK" that! Of course I wash my freakin' "DICK"! You questioning my groin sanitation? I wash the hell out of my little Valentino, thank you very much. Nothing like Ebony getting a splash of Ivory. "WOOHOO!!!!"

If it floats their boat, I say go for it. But I wouldn't do it except for health-related reasons.

I had a circumcision when i was 30 due to phimosis.Ejaculating now gives me only 50% of the ecstacy it used 2 do .Sure i can last longer due to the missing thousands or nerve endings rubbing my head,i could also lob it out for a blow job at any time(i should b so lucky)without having to worry about the fact i aint just washed it,but its no compensation.
Better to have loved an lost than never loved at all i suppose,but its those that have it done at birth i feel sorry for,truely never experiencing the explosive feeling of ejaculating with a hood .
I'm off for a wank,back in 3 hours

No issues with it.

In the vast majority of cases, (Except phimosis), it's cosmetic, but if someone wants to do it, why not? Circumcised penises look uber rad.


But I think the penis is a minor issue of concern here. It doesn't matter if you're cut or uncut if you have hairy balls. You need to shave those bad boys.

does one out of 2 float your boat?

mdiver said:

NO, both of them need to be shaved. That's like piercing just one ear. Both balls....both shaved. No questions asked.

Imago said:

Dan you are a total ass!

mdiver said:

Imago said:

That cracked me up mate, i had visions of the moment someone thought it was a good idea to shave one and leave the other hairy boy alone

mdiver said:

It's like saying "Sure, I'll go have way with this metro-sexual thing, but don't call my bad boys 'fag bags'"

If it's nessessary, for health reasons, or if the person is religious and believes it needs to be done, then sure.

Adult circumcision is being touted in African nations as one of the means to reduce the risk of contracting HIV. But, while health agencies there have endorsed the practice, I have yet to hear a clear explanation of how it's beneficial.

At any rate, here's an article, just in time for World AIDS Day.





Reporter Gets Circumcised to Fight AIDS


By JOSEPH J. SCHATZ – 18 hours ago

LUSAKA, Zambia (AP) — A southern African radio correspondent has been receiving a flood of text messages and cell phone calls — some from offended listeners and readers.

All because Kennedy Gondwe chose to get circumcised to protect himself from AIDS, and took the British Broadcasting Corp.'s radio and Web audience through the procedure with him Friday.

A study published in the Lancet medical journal in February concluded that the findings of three major trials — in Kenya, South Africa and Uganda — show that circumcision can significantly reduce men's chances of contracting the virus that causes AIDS. U.N. health agencies followed up with an endorsement, but stressed that the procedure offers only partial protection and that abstinence, condom use, having few partners and delaying the first sexual experience are all among the steps that need to be encouraged.

Frank talk about AIDS and prevention methods, is still rare in Gondwe's Zambia, where HIV prevalence is 16 percent. That's what made the 27-year-old Gondwe's public testimony Friday, the eve of World AIDS Day, even more striking.

A prominent Zambian journalist, Mildred Mpundu, died in November after going public with her HIV-positive status earlier this year and urging her fellow journalists to get tested.

Gondwe, who says he undergoes an AIDS test several times a year, said in an interview Friday he finds it "sad" that more people don't talk about circumcision as a prevention method.

"We as journalists also have a role to play in the fight against the disease," he said.

Gondwe, on the radio piece and in an online diary Friday, recounts his Nov. 22 procedure. Listeners can hear him gasp as a doctor injects him with a local anesthetic, but he assures them the procedure is otherwise painless. He was up, walking to his car and driving himself home soon afterward.

Dr. Jan van den Ende, a microbiologist at Toga Laboratory, which provides AIDS testing and counseling in neighboring South Africa, the country hardest hit by AIDS, said it was not entirely clear why circumcision provides the protection it does. He described it as a relatively simple and painless procedure, something Gondwe's story demonstrated.

While one admiring Web reader from Zambia told Gondwe he would soon follow his example, the reporter said others told him they were offended. Gondwe's Tumbuka people of Zambia's Northern Province do not embrace circumcision, he said.

David Alnwick, a senior AIDS adviser to UNICEF based in Nairobi, said UNICEF supports educating people that "circumcised men are relatively well protected against HIV." But he said there was a danger of creating demand that the world's poorest continent is not now prepared to meet.

Alnwick said Zambia has a long waiting list of men who want to be circumcised and only a few centers providing the service. But he says he expects governments to come aboard across the continent and international donors to provide funding.

It's self mutilation but if it's an adult that chooses to do it to himself then who am I to have a problem with it? As long as he is properly educated on what he's doing to himself and is not deciding to do it because of myths.

I only have a problem with when it is forced on a child.
